Diamanda Galas with John Paul Jones : The Sporting Life 1994

Born in San Diego, California , the daughter of Greek immigrants ( from Mani ) , Galas began studying the piano at the age of five. She studied jazz and classical music , training which reveals itself throughout all her work. She studied a wide range of musical forms , as well as visual-art performance , before moving to Europe. There she made her performance debut at the Festival d'Avignon in France in 1979 , performing the lead in the opera , "Un Jour comme un autre " , by composer Vinko Globokar , based upon the Amnesty International documentation of the arrest and torture of a Turkish woman for alleged treason.
Her work first garnered widespread attention with the controversial 1991 live recording of the album " Plague Mass " (1984 - End of the Epidemic) in the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York. With it , Galasattacked the Roman Catholic Church ( and society in general ) for its indifference to AIDS using biblical texts.
Galas often shrieks , howls , and seems to imitate glossolalia in her performances. Her works largely concentrate on the topics of suffering , despair , condemnation , injustice and loss of dignity.
In 1994 , Galas collaborated with Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones , a longtime admirer of the singer. The resultant record , " The Sporting Life " , while containing much of Galas's trademark vocal gymnastics , is probably the closest she has ever come to rock music , and is comprised of nearly all original material.
